Pemetrexed for epithelioid haemangioendothelioma of the pleura.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 31-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of dull left back pain. Chest roentgenography revealed pleural thickening in the left lung apex, whereas chest computed tomography showed a left pleural effusion with diffuse pleural thickening. Based on these findings, malignant mesothelioma was suspected. Video-assisted thoracoscopic pleural biopsy was performed, and subsequent staining of the specimen revealed negative results for anti-cytokeratin antibodies and positive results for vascular endothelial immunohistochemical markers. Therefore, a diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) was made, and chemotherapy with carboplatin, pemetrexed, and bevacizumab was initiated. After the fourth course of treatment, the disease was well controlled with a 90% reduction of the left pleural effusion. This case is very rare in that the EHE originated from the pleura. Additionally, there has been no report of pemetrexed for treatment of EHE.
